Default rc dual stabilizer (AWSOME!!!!!)

for a low cost easy solution to flighty steering, this is it. i ordered it off ebay, direct from rc, and in three days it was sitting on my door step. simple install and drives great. only question i have is if i will have to remove it to align my front end. maybe some of you front end guys can answer this. the ends of the shocks are tied in close to the tierod ends. check out the pic after the mod.

I don't know for sure, but by looking at it I would imagine it would be the same seeing that you have that much on both sides now...thus the "duel" stabilizer.

I agree, they look great. Also, I would think they would be more HD with the 2 shorter shafts rather than the 1 longer one hangin' out there. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you have to give for them???
Thanks.....

Yes, very.
I did mine on Thursday and it came sweet no loss in the turning radius and much better steering.
A real nice solid feel.

Default RC dual stabilizers

I didn't want to comment on these until I had driven with them some. They were simple to install. Took about 30-45 minutes. Make sure and check the positioning at full lock left and right, before fully tightening the bolts.
I was surprised how much they helped. Turning I don't notice them that much, but straight line it really firmed up the feel of the steering. It improved the wandering effect of big tires 100%.
